Happy Birthday Carol87, you're as old as my sponsor now!

Carol87 · 08-04-2008, 10:09 AM

Recovery-wise, it was a great day ... 21 years ago I would not have dreamed that I would be where I'm at now ... I resisted doing what I needed to do for a very long time. I was miserable on a dry drunk until I finally surrendered. Once I gave in and got a sponsor and LISTENED TO HER and started working the steps, my life started changing ... thanks to the program of AA AND, most importantly, my Higher Power ... whom I choose to call God ...

So ... do I have anything to complain about? NO!! Inconveniences ... YES! Do I have the tools to conquer them ... ODAAT ... Absolutely!
